When I stumble out to my car on a snowy morning at 4-4:30 AM, I cannot say that my favorite thing to do in the cold is scrape my windshild so I can get on my way to work. This handy thing keeps me from having to do this. I just take it off and shake it, put it in the backseat and off I go, nice and easy. Wish everything in my life was that easy!
